rare in the natural world.

Time to spare.

And, to explore.

[panda softly grunting]

Because of their specialised way of life,

giant pandas are amongst

the rarest animals in the world.

Cubs like her are more precious still.

There are only a few hundred alive.

A rare animal with the rarest luxury.

Time.

As the morning sun grows in strength,

it begins to brew a spell

of a different kind.

The Sun is pouring energy

into our atmosphere, heating it up.

It evaporates water from land and sea,

and builds clouds.

Across Africa, clouds and weather

are constantly on the move,

bringing rain and fresh grass

to different places at different times.

For millions of animals,

the job of every morning is to move

to where the rain

will make the grass grow next.

Whatever stands in their way.

This morning,

the need to keep moving will present a

particular challenge for one young zebra.

This foal could walk

less than an hour after birth.

She can handle almost anything.

But she's never faced

an obstacle like this.

Swollen by highland rain,

the river is fast and furious.

And full of dangers.

The young zebra is going to need

every bit of her mother's help,

if she's going to make it.

[zebras whinnying]

It turns out the biggest threat

isn't attack by other animals,

it's the river itself.

Her mother tries to lead the foal

to the shallowest waters,

but she's just too small.

And the current's just too strong.

The foal is on the verge of exhaustion,

but her mother will not give up.

[zebra whining]

While others are escaping,

she calls for her foal to keep going.

And finally, a way out.

There is a saying in Africa,

"if you wanna go quickly, go alone.

If you wanna go far, go together."

After this,

the zebra foal and her mother can surely

handle anything the day throws at them.

The Sun is approaching

its highest and most powerful.

In the far north, in the Arctic,

ice has held land and ocean

in its grip for months.

The Sun near the poles is always lower

and weaker than anywhere else.

[ice rumbling]

But still, its energy will transform.

Narwhal.

One of the most mysterious

animals on the planet.

For the moment they can't travel far,

only small openings in the ice

allow them to surface and breathe.

But the power of the Sun

is coming to their rescue.

For many days

the Sun's heat has been gnawing away

at the ice's hold on sea and land.

Now, approaching its highest

and strongest, the Sun begins to triumph.

[ice crackling]

And the battle of heat against cold,

becomes a rout.

On land, rivers flow again.

In the oceans, where the ice is now weak,

the Sun's warmth, opens cracks.

And the cracks become channels.
